Birla Corporation is looking to ramp up its cement production capacity to 15 million tonnes (MT) in the next four years. At present, the company’s cement production capacity is 9.3 MT per annum. With the increase in production capacity, Birla Corporation would be among the top-10 cement producers in the country.
The company, which had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Assam Mineral Development Corporation (AMDC) for setting up a plant there, is waiting for the state agency to get the limestone mining lease after which a joint venture company would be formed.
Birla Corporation operates four division cement, jute, vinoleum and auto trim. It has eight manufacturing facilities located in Pune, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Gurgoan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
